Laura Evans

The Fit Expert

The Laura Evans is similar to The Pearl Hart. It has an easy fit. It runs true to size, and have an average width - comfortable for all!

Description

In the late 1800s, Salida Colorado was a dusty, but promising town of Silver Miners and Railroaders when Laura Evans strolled into Wild West History. Running away from a convent in St. Louis Missouri, a young business-astute Laura Evans settled in Salida in 1890, quickly becoming one of the wealthiest people in town when she opened her brothel (known to be the finest in the Wild West). Laura lived a long, healthy, and successful life, and her bordello was legendary until 1950 when The Salida City Council finally shut down her business. Known to be a 'class act,' Laura attended the funeral of every single man she did business with (although surely given cold stares by angry widows). Using glossy patent leathers in contrasting colours, on a 2.5" Fellowship-hi heel and a soft rubber Attention sole, The Laura Evans is the sassiest T-strap pump John has ever made, so keep your hat on... it's going to be a wild ride! Keep pushing west and beyond your imagination.

Amazing!

Tarry Smith - Portland, OR, USA

I bought these after reading a review that they were comfortable heels. Boy, was that an understatement! I have wide feet with paddle toes, high arches, and a high instep, and I despaired of ever finding a heel that I could even tolerate on my foot for more than ten minutes. These have the most amazing toebox ever! Not only can I tolerate them, but I can wear them all darn day! They're gorgeous, too! They even look... dainty, on my giant, ugly feet! Truly there is magic in these! Thank you!

I also purchased the Pearl, however slighly disappointed and not surprisedthat the Pearl isnow being phasedout and is on clearance. Tbe Linda Evans is much cleaner,less compliated, I also prefer the Linda Evans to the also duscontinued Angelinawhich is in

Sin Dee - South of Heaven just west of HElp!

Thank you

Great, but wide

clygirl19 - Chicago

These are fabulous, but not for my feet. I have a low profile (bony foot) and although the strap is adjustable, there was too much deep in the shoe. So, the top of my feet didn't fill out the top of the shoes. If your feet are average or high profile..meaning that you have some meat to your feet, these should work great. I did go 1/2 size up due because of the more pointed toe and that was a good call. I have an average forefoot with a narrow heel. Unfortunately, they have to go back :(

Unfortunate stitching placement....

Laura - Canada

I have a pair of the tomato ones. They are gorgeous, and were comfortable....to start. I cannot wear them for longer than a couple hours, even with minimal walking, as there is exposed stitching that runs up the side of the shoe right at the widest part of the toe box (on the side where your big toe meets your foot), causing blisters and irritation. If they stretch any further, I think my foot would slide around too much, causing blisters in other spots. Sad, because I think I would wear these all day if I could, and I plan to keep them and just not walk much in them. :)

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

ingrid - Australia

Many thanks to Ms Crystal in Portland for her advice and posting over a pair in grey /burgundy combo. Fab shoes for work, can wear all day with no problems, comfortable and they look sensational with pretty much everything. Now hanging out (and saving) for a new lighter color combo for (our) summer.

I'm surprised at how much I love the Bellevue family--my favorite shoes for work seem to be from the Mini, Operetta and KKBB families--for a dainty, rather dressy shoe they are extremely comfortable, especially now that they have a flexible sole, unlike my older Pearl Harts and Mollie Johnsons. When the tomato got down to 2 pair in my size I knew I'd better get them or be sorry! I seem to be an 8 in Fluevogs and they feel true to size for me.

Cup of love

Sammantha - NV

These are my first pair of Fluevog's, and I love, love them. I wear a 7 1/2 to 8 in shoes, so i got these in the tomato & navy in size 8. They fit perfect and were sooooo comfortable that i was drooling while wearing them :) If i could get every color i would.

Gorgeous!

Liz - Toronto, ON

I bought these when I was looking for a pair of black heels. They're funky with the t-strap, but fit well. The strap is a bit on the short side - if you have a high instep, or fat feet (like I do), it can be a struggle to buckle them. But I adore them.

momma has a new pair of shoes!

julie - British Columbia

I bought these as a Mother's Day present for myself, they were love at first sight and have been wearing the heck out of them and getting lots of compliments every time I wear them. I recently wore them for a full day of facilitating which means I am on my feet the whole day, and while I did sigh with relief at the end of the day, that was mostly because it was a brutally long day. One thing I don't like, just a small thing, is the tiny little buckle, and the patent leather is so shiny that sometimes I have trouble finding the hole to buckle them.

Still deciding

Koren Marrufo - NW IN

This shoe is fabulous. The color combo (tomato navy) is very cute and the T strap is such a quirky nice touch. This is the first heel I have bought that is not a Hope/Hopeful, so I found this shoe to run more true to size. Therefore, it is a bit large on me. I am a little worried that if I exchange for my normal size, they might then be a little narrow. A very cute and fun shoe.

Gorgeous shoes!

Bridget McLaughlin - Melbourne

I wore my new shoes today, many envious glances and even more lovely comments! Comfortable and striking!!! Winning combination!

True to size and wonderfully comfortable

Laura - Calgary

I was in the Calgary store to buy another pair of shoes that didn't work out, when Jodie brought out the tomato and navy Laura Evans (which weren't even on display yet!). Once I put them on, I had to have them. True to size, wickedly comfortable, and room for my high instep that causes major issues in other heels. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Love at first sight

Karen - Toronto

I bought these today in black. I had actually come in to try on several other pairs of shoes that I'd been scoping out online, but as soon as I saw these I was hooked. True to size, stylish, and comfortable as anything. I do adore a good 1920s/30s-esque shoe. Even the cat is loving them.

Love at first step

Kay - BC

This is my third shoe in the Bellevues family and easily one of my favourites! My last pair (Dumonts) were purchased half a size too large by accident, and don't get a ton of wear because of that. Armed with that knowledge, I snapped these beauties up in a 10, which is a perfect fit. (My non-Vog size is a solid 10, so I find these true to size). The rubber sole is a delight, making them even more comfortable than their predecessors, and very wearable for work. I got them in the new black colourway, though I'm still loving the grey/burgundy patent! Maybe one day . . .

Great shoes

Gillian - Winnipeg

I purchased the black and cream patent pair on sale and couldn't be more pleased. I usually wear a size 11 and bought a size 11.5 which appears to be my lucky number in Fluevog sizes. Anticipate these will be placed on regular rotation for work wear and fun times. Snap these beauties up while you still have a chance. Am already coveting the burgundy/grey pair but my Winnipeg frugalness has held me back :)

My fourth pair of Bellevues...

Elisabeth - Vancouver

...which says something, I think, about how very good this shoe family is. They are comfy. They are stylish. They are high enough to make your calves look very nice, but not so high that you can't take a full stride. I can wear these all day without achy feet problems. I love a good t-strap -- very retro. I have average width feet, normally a size 5.5 or 6, and these fit perfectly in the size 5.5. And there is something very appealing about the shiny black t-strap and matte black heel/toe. It makes them a little polished, but not too dressy for everyday wear. Love the tiny splash of dark red on the buckle.

So comfortable

Kim - St. Catharines

These shoes are great! Bought them yesterday in TO because the mini gorgeous was not available in my size. I simply could not walk out of the store without them. I wore the shoes all day today, no problems at all. I purchased these in the light pink, size 9.5. May get another colour also!

Lusting relieved, love Laura!

Shawn Bird - Canada

I've been lusting after Laura Evans for a couple of years now. When the grey/burgundy version was revealed, a visit to Vog-dom was required! After the worst drive into Van-town (7.5 hours instead of 4.5) I needed the pick me up of these sassy shoes! I've worn them 3 days now (Pearl Hart is definitely jealous) and they were perfectly comfortable from the first moment. Love the Bellevues. Perfect height for work and fun. True to size. Great width. Thanks Alan/Allen/Allan!

Beautiful shoes

Dany - Edmonton

I lusted after these shoes since they arrived months ago, very classic with a touch of quirky. My size sold out during the sale so I bought these at Gravity Pope (also on sale). They are very comfortable. The only thing that detracts a bit from their beauty is that the patent leathers crinkles a bit in front of the T-strap, the sides where the cream part dips to the sole and on the back where the seams are(not noticeable there). I think this is the nature of patent leather and also the cut of the shoe. Having said that, they are beautiful, well made and I am very happy with my purchase.

these shoes are a fashion game changer

gothic wanderer - Ontario

These are my 4th pair of fluevogs. I don't think I can wear other shoes. The dusty rose colour is exquisite, and the little blue buckle -- such a tiny splash of funkiness -- turns these adorable shoes into spectacular fashion statements. They feel divine, make banal outfits look like high fashion. Just marvellous.

Gorgeous shoes!

Audrey - Ottawa

My husband and I admired a friend's stylish shoes at a party last month and she told us they were Fluevogs. I looked up the company on the web and decided to buy these gorgeous shoes. Yes the price is high but, in my opinion, you get what you pay for. They arrived, beautifully packaged (thanks Émilie in Quebec City), in four days. I am usually a size 9 in North American shoes, so ordered a size 9 and fretted until I received my shoes. They fit perfectly! Today I wore them all day at work and my feet do not hurt and I have no blisters. I will definitely be ordering from Fluevog again. And, my husband bought himself a pair of stylish Fluevogs, too!
